NFL Draft 2024 live updates: Day 2 second and third round picks, trades, grades and news from Detroit

[ad_1]

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and it was the most offensive-heavy first round in the history of the annual player selection meeting. 23 offensive players — highlighted by 14-in-a-row to start the draft — was an all-time record.

While there was little drama with the first pick, where Caleb Williams went to Chicago, heads turned at the tail end of the top 10 when the Atlanta Falcons picked quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the most surprising pick of the night. The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract earlier this offseason.

Quarterbacks also tied a record with six of them going in the first round, matching the legendary 1983 class. All of the quarterbacks went in the top 12, culminating with Bo Nix to Denver with that 12th pick.

Next up on Friday, are rounds two and three of the NFL Draft, and the Buffalo Bills have pick No. 33 overall, and will get the draft going again at 7 p.m. ET from Detroit.

April 26 — Second and third rounds, 7 p.m. ET
April 27 — Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, noon ET

The 2024 NFL Draft will be broadcast live on NFL Network and also ESPN, ABC and ESPN Deportes.

You can stream it on ESPN+, YouTube TV, Hulu+ Live TV, Sling TV and Fubo TV.

It’s being held in the area around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit, less than a mile from Ford Field, home of the Lions.

    • School: N.C. State

    • Height: 6′ 4″

    Wilson has played a whole lot of football for NC State. He has a chance to be a solid starter.

    • Draft Grade: C

    • School: Texas A&M

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 326

    The Bengals needed defensive line depth and might have found that with the steady Jackson from Texas A&M.

    • Draft Grade: B

    • School: Florida St.

    • Height: 6′ 0″

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 94 — DeWayne Carter

    • Draft Grade: C

    • School: Duke

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 302

    Carter is a quality backup prospect for the Bills’ defensive line rotation.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 94 — Jaylx Hunt

    Edge depth is never a bad thing. Hunt is a bit undersized, but the Eagles have gravitated toward those body types on the edge recently with some good results.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 93 — Adisa Isaac

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 96

    • School: Penn St.

    • Height: 6′ 4″

    • Weight: 247

    Edge depth for the Ravens. They needed some insurance in case Odafe Oweh doesn’t take that next step.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 92 — Jalen McMillan

    • Draft Grade: A

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 57

    • School: Washington

    • Height: 6′ 1″

    • Weight: 197

    The third Washington wide receiver is off the board, giving the Huskies six offensive players drafted from their national runner-up team. McMillan is a strong get for the Buccaneers and should compete for starting 11 personnel reps off the bat.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 91 — Ty’Ron Hopper

    • Draft Grade: C-

    • School: Missouri

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 231

    It’s hard to get too upset about at a pick at this point in the draft, but Hopper feels like a long-shot to be a contributor on defense for the Packers.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 90 Elijah Jones

    • Draft Grade: C

    • School: Boston Coll.

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 185

    Jones adds versatile defensive back depth. Has the ability to grow into a starter at some point if things shake out for him, but he faces a log-jammed depth chart — which is a good thing for the Cardinals.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 89 —Tykee Smith

    • Draft Grade: B

    • School: Georgia

    • Height: 5′ 10″

    • Weight: 202

    Safety depth here is a solid pull for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has a solid third safety or depth safety to pair with Antoine Winfield Jr. for the long term.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 88 — MarShawn Lloyd

    • Draft Grade: A+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 97

    • School: USC

    • Height: 5′ 9″

    • Weight: 220

    Lloyd is a stud. He’s had a bit of a fumbling problem, but he’s a bowling ball with balance and some real breakaway speed. If he’s able to hold onto the ball better he can be an impact running back in the NFL.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 87 — Marist Liufau

    • Draft Grade: C

    • School: Notre Dame

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 234

    The Cowboys needed a real linebacker body on their roster and they got one in Liufau. No more safeties at linebacker is a good thing for Dallas, even if Liufau isn’t necessarily a star.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 86 —Dominick Puni

    • Draft Grade: C

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 66

    • School: Kansas

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 313

    More depth for a 49ers offensive line that’s continuing to find their best starting five after an inconsistent showing in 2023.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 85 — Zak Zinter

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 99

    • School: Michigan

    • Height: 6′ 6″

    • Weight: 309

    The Browns just picked an offensive lineman who has starter potential in the third round. Good move for Cleveland and another member off the All-Juice team is gone.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 84 — Roman Wilson

    • Draft Grade: C

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 58

    • School: Michigan

    • Height: 5′ 11″

    • Weight: 185

    The Steelers needed some wide receiver depth and they got it, but they might have been better served finding a bigger play wide receiver. Still, Wilson will learn quickly with the big target vacuum he’s walking into.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 83 — Blake Corum

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 86

    • School: Michigan

    • Height: 5′ 8″

    • Weight: 205

    Corum is a good player, no doubt, but this feels like a weird fit with what Kyren Williams brought to the team last season. Still, a 1-2 punch with Williams and Corum behind a revamped offensive line might rake for the Rams.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 82 — Tip Reiman

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • School: Illinois

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 271

    Good, big athlete for the Cardinals to pair with Trey McBride. This is the thunder to McBride’s lightning.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 81 — Christian Haynes

    • Draft Grade: A+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 30

    • School: Connecticut

    • Height: 6′ 3″

    • Weight: 317

    Haynes is a STUD. The Seahawks might have a rookie starting guard in the third round who excels just about everywhere. This is a fantastic pickup.

  • This Michigan superstar is headed to Los Angeles…but not to play for his former head coach Jim Harbaugh

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 80 — Jermaine Burton

    • Draft Grade: B

    • School: Alabama

    • Height: 6′ 0″

    • Weight: 196

    Burton is extremely talented, but had some character red flags this offseason. He’s the perfect guy to pair with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase for the long term — and maybe Tee Higgins, too? Regardless, Burton can make big plays happen downfield.
